Learning to refine immortal pills without anyone's guidance, relying on a pill recipe alone, already put him beyond the vast majority of ordinary immortals.
After that brief moment of embarrassment, Xu Changxing began considering another question.

Somewhat annoyed, you stop refining pills and fly dozens of miles out to meet the enemy, your face dark.
After a chaotic battle, you once again drive back Purple Cloud Mountain's Origin Demons.

Of these sixteen Immortal Essence Pills, twelve are inferior.
Three fall between inferior and ordinary quality.
The remaining one is identical to the ordinary Immortal Essence Pills described in the pill recipe.
Successfully refining a proper Immortal Essence Pill fills you with extraordinary delight.
